No, the guy who won 10 games last year.....Arky is going to hire a guy whose 2-9?

Briles is as untouchable as Roy Moore. Ain’t no one going there for a while. If a Canadian Football Leage Team isn’t allowed to hire him as a consultant, he’s not getting an OC or HC job anytime soon anywhere.Maybe Arkansas hires Briles and he brings Monty as OC. I could see that. The hogs don't have much in the way of morals when it comes to winning football.
A sizable group of Baylor fans wanted to bring Briles back, and it's a "Christian school"! Unless Briles has a show cause, I have little doubt that Arkansas would give it serious thought if they thought he could compete for an SEC championship. And keep in mind that Roy Moore has about a 60% chance of winning the election in Alabama according to the betting pools...Briles is as untouchable as Roy Moore. Ain’t no one going there for a while.

The way Arkansas fired Bielema not even letting him get off the field after the game today is classless. Gus may listen but Gus ain’t going after that display. They’d be luck to get a P5 coordinator after that garbage.
I’d be willing to bet Strong would never coach at Arkansas given the racism of their fan base.

but even the piggies will be too smart for that.
??? Mike Anderson is there now and Nolan Richardson coached there for a long time.

Nolan did sue Arkansas for racial discrimination so he seemed to think it wasn't so great...And Nolan had problems with it. Hopefully it’s better for Anderson now, but it is Arkansas.
Lol, pot, meet kettle.Stop using facts and logic.... it messes up the liberal thought process.
I think Nolan has forgiven, which is very different than deciding he was wrong. And there's a huge difference between "not being discriminated against" and "not proving a case under the law," which makes discrimination cases very difficult to win. I think fans also did crazy stuff like make bomb threats.Nolan lives in Fayetteville and is very active and popular not only in the area but with the University. His lawsuit was more about “wounded pride” than actual discrimination imo. Mike Anderson is also very popular fwiw. No clue about the football dynamic and a black coach.
Go away trollI'd love to see arky hire him.
Arkansas' athletic dept. is so dumb they've probably already contacted Bobby Petrino's agent to discuss his return there with a promised side suite at the Embassy Suites for his volleyball mistressPretty sure it's the first time anyone has ever said this!
Nolan was let go not for performance issues but he felt comfortable in his position to start using it as a mouthpiece to draw attention to some of the racial iniquities in society, ala John Thompson at Georgetown. While the big time white donors at UA loved Nolan winning lots of games, they didn't love that part of him. Nolan made the Waltons uncomfortable.Nolan lives in Fayetteville and is very active and popular not only in the area but with the University.

Kind of like the people who would cheer for the Dodgers then spit on Jackie Robinson as he left the field.Even as a 7th grader, I stood in the Civic Center in disbelief at all the south Tulsa racists bobbing their heads and singing along to the warm up song "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" talking about "if you've ever been held down before, I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore."
People were a lot more comfortable with the platform, there and here, when it included 25 win seasons. When the wins and the booster money faded, the routine got old with the establishment over there. That friction is what led to him being removed. He wasn't fired for commenting on race relations. He was fired for struggling seasons. He just got fewer of them than other coaches might have been allowed, because he was "a race man."
Nolan says he's "forgiven". The essence of forgiving is ceasing anger toward someone who wronged you while not changing your belief they wronged you. If you change your mind and decide they didn't wrong you, then it's something totally different, it's not forgiveness. There's been quite a bit of research on the physical and psychological impact of forgiving and it's pretty amazing. But it's about saying "I won't be angry any more, I won't let this person continue to hurt me through my anger even though he wronged me." I don't know if Nolan uses the term like that but I get the sense he does.When an employee publicly challenges a university to fire them. They are then asked by the university not to publicly make that challenge again. They walk out of that meeting and again publicly challenge the university to fire them. I'm not sure the university has an option at that point but termination...regardless of the color of the man's skin. I'm not sure 25 wins saves that job but 25 wins likely results in a happier coach and Admin. Now....I'm not saying that race didn't play a role in why Nolan became angry and obstinate at the end just that he had to know the outcome of his actions...especially when he chose to repeat them. I did find it interesting that he personally invited Broyles to his HOF induction especially considering the filing the unsuccessful lawsuit. Appears both parties realized they contributed to the eventual dysfunction.

Years ago, my dad and I went to a TU-USC baseball game at old Oiler park at the fairgrounds to watch Anthony Davis play. He played running back for the Trojan football team and right field for the USC baseball team.
He was racially heckled throughout the game but maintained his cool. After the game, my father waited outside for the team bus to load so that he could apologise to AD for those idiot fans. I got an autograph out of the deal too.
I learned a lot that day.
